This installation and maintenance manual contains
important information for the safe and correct installation,
initial start-up and maintenance of this boiler.
The Logano GB125 BE oil-fired condensing boiler is
generally referred to below simply as the boiler.
These installation and maintenance instructions are
designed for specialists, who – through their vocational
training and experience –are knowledgeable in handling
heating systems and DHW installations.
This boiler must only be installed with one of the Buderus
supplied concentric supply air and flue gas routing
systems.
• Concentric air supply and flue pipe exiting through
external wall
• Concentric supply air and flue gas routing via roof
• Concentric supply air/flue gas routing through a flue
inside a duct
This boiler produces significant amounts of acidic flue gas
condensate while in operation. Condensate may cause
damage to sewer pipes and septic systems, and disposal
may be subject to local regulations. In the absence of
such regulations Buderus recommends a condensate
neutralization kit.
The boiler must draw all combustion air from the outside.
2.3 Notes on installation and operation

This section details how to install your boiler correctly.
This involves the following steps:
• Flue pipe installation
• Providing air supply for combustion
• Making the water connections
• Making the electrical connections
• Connecting the fuel supply
DANGER: Risk of fatal injury from toxic flue
gases!
B Never connect more than one boiler to a
flue system – regardless of whether the
flue is vertical or horizontal.
B Common venting systems can cause
damage to property and personal injury.
B Do not route the flue system through
another flue system that is in use, e.g. a
masonry chimney connected to a wood
stove.
B Follow the instructions of the flue pipe
manufacturer.
The boiler must be installed by a trained and
certified installer in accordance with all
requirements of NFPA-31, "Installation of OilBurning Equipment". Installation must
comply with all local and national codes
applicable to the installation of oil-fired
boilers.
5.1 Flue pipe installation
The overall burner air supply/boiler flue pipe system
conforms to the types of oil combustion equipment listed
in the table below.
Observe the national standards and regulations for
operating oil-fired appliances.

tems are part of the combustion equipment.
Concentric air/flue gas routing through a flue
inside a duct. The space around the vent
pipe is used for combustion air.
In Canada, the requirements of CSA/CGAB139 Installation Code apply.
The GB125 boiler is approved for zero (0")
clearance between its concentric vent pipe
and combustibles.
Because of the tight construction of modern
houses, this boiler must draw all air supply for
combustion from outside (RLU).

Choice of installation site for side-wall flue termination
Choosing the right location for the terminal is critical to
proper functioning of the appliance. As well as the
minimum clearances (Æ Fig. 14), the following rules must
be observed:

at least 1 ft above grade
and snow line
Concentric wall terminations on the house wall
must be at least 3 ft above forced air inlets within 10 ft.
Fig. 14 Minimum clearances for side wall terminations
1. The termination should not face the prevailing wind
direction.
2. The termination must be installed in such a way that the
flue gases can disperse freely without re-entering the
building.
3. The termination must be at least 2 ft from adjacent
buildings and it must not be possible for the flue gas to
enter adjacent buildings.
4. Where the building adjoins public walkways, the
termination must be located at least 7 ft above ground.
Make sure that freezing condensate does not
constitute a hazard.
5. The termination must never be located below building
overhangs, roof eaves, porches, enclosed spaces or
lower parts of the building that could prevent
unrestricted outflow of the flue gases.
6. The termination must never be located within 3 ft of
inside corners of buildings and never less than 2 ft from
outside corners of buildings.
7. If there is a fan-assisted air intake vent within 10 ft, the
termination must be at least 3 ft above it.

8. The termination must be at least 4 ft below, 1 ft above
or 4 ft horizontally from doors, windows or air inlet
vents.
9. The termination must be at least 1 ft above ground and
snow line, and protected from falling and accumulating
snow, ice, leaves or debris.
10. The termination should be at least 3 ft from any type
of building opening, oil tank filling or venting apparatus,
and 6 ft from gas meters and similar equipment.
11. The position of the termination should be chosen so
that the last horizontal section of pipe slopes
downwards to the inside by ¼ " per ft. The flue terminal
itself must also be inclined at ¼ " per ft to the inside so
that any condensate drains inwards.

Tab. 11 Installation options
To prevent reverse flow of flue gas into the air
intake even with wind influence, the included
wall terminations must be used.
Table 12, page 21 shows the maximum permissible vent
length for the different types of systems.
Flue pipe inside an existing masonry
chimney similar to a liner. Chimney
chase used as a raceway to bring in
combustion air. Concentric supply
